quoting from the ngx administration III checkpoint book negative numbers
is the checkpoint way to represent very big numbers. really.
Which is another way of saying there is an integer overflow bug
somewhere in their code, and they can't be bothered to fix it.
In a 32-bit platform, INT_MAX is 2147483647 (= 2 ^ 31 - 1 = 2048 *
1024 * 1024 - 1) If you take an unsigned int larger than that, and
treat it as a signed int, the high order bit will be 1, and it will be
treated as a negative number. Do you by chance have between 2 and 4
Gig of RAM in these machines?
